[X] Yes [ ] No ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [X] Yes [ ] No For the quarter ended March 31, 1996 the Company incurred a net loss of $145,000, compared to net income of $148,000 earned in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The decline in net income and the $900,000 decline in sales is due to delays in completing one large systems order and long lead-times from quartz vendors. Management believes the results for the third quarter will be significantly improved as compared to this quarter and will compare favorably to the third quarter of fiscal 1995. If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
